The RapidRewire® Accelerating Change Process With The First 90 Days®

The Genesis Advisers RapidRewire Process is what an organization needs to align and accelerate individual and team transitions following a merger, reorganization, or significant acquisition. The aftermath of organizational change is often followed by a failed implementation phase, resulting in predictable failures to achieve cost reduction, post-acquisition synergy, and other key goals.

Overview

Ensure that all levels of the new organization are aligned on vision, goals, and strategy

Cascade next-90-day action planning down through the organization

Strengthen relationships and enhance team cohesion at all levels

Build the competencies required to achieve high performance

The RapidRewire Process is based on the Genesis Advisers Change Acceleration Framework™, a proven methodology developed by Dr. Michael Watkins. As shown below, change implementation requires alignment and connection coupled with essential competencies. For example, competencies in conflict management and influence are needed in organizations transitioning to a matrix structure.

Competency-building curricula can be integrated into the workshops and delivered by Genesis Advisers facilitators. Workshops are conducted in-person at higher levels, but blended or fully virtual processes can be employed at lower levels.

RapidRewire processes draw on established assessments, frameworks, and tools. However, specific implementations are co-created with business and HR leadership. A typical RapidRewire design and delivery process is shown in the table below.

Needs Assessment

Genesis Advisers senior consultants work with business leadership to diagnose the key alignment and competency-building needs.

Intervention Design

The design team agrees on the key interventions (individual coaching, team workshops, virtual reinforcement sessions) and their timing.

Workshop facilitator conducts the sessions. The outcome is concrete action plans for the team and individual members for the next 90 days.

Competency Building

Based on the needs assessment and implementation experience, key competency-building initiatives are designed and implemented.

Results

“The RapidRewire approach dramatically accelerated a major internal integration and realignment of one of our key businesses. It had a major impact in speeding up both team and individual transitions as we cascaded it down through the organization.”
